HRW Discovers Israel Expelling Palestinians, Again
The 'expulsion' HRW calls war crimes isn't a new policy; it’s an ongoing process. Since 1967, Israel has demolished over 55,000 Palestinian structures in the West Bank and Gaza, forcibly displacing thousands. This isn't an aberration; it's the Nakba in slow motion. Meanwhile, elected officials like Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who received $105,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2023 (
OpenSecrets.org ), remain steadfast in their 'unwavering support' for Israel, regardless of international law or human rights reports. So, HRW reports 'war crimes,' and the media dutifully covers it as breaking news. One might wonder, how many times must Palestinians be 'expelled' before it’s simply called what it is: systematic ethnic cleansing? And how many more reports will it take before our
taxpayer dollars ($3.8 billion annually in military aid to Israel, CRS Report RL33222 ) stop funding these 'expulsions'?
